Dublin In
Sketches and Stories
Róisín Curé
'Beautiful sketches bring Dublin to
life in stunning new book.'
- Brian Dillon, Dublin Live
Róisín Curé sketches
what she sees, wherever she is, from the mundane to the
magnificent, and everything in between. With her ears and eyes
open, she immerses herself in the urban scene and creates a snippet
of the world around her in words and pictures, with nothing more
hi-tech than a fountain pen and a small box of watercolours.
The bustling, busy
city of Dublin is captured here in all its grit and glory, through
its buildings and people along with conversations with its
inhabitants. You won’t find these stories in any guidebook, as they
ebbed and flowed like the ink and paint used to create this very
intimate portrait of Dublin and its people.
With more than 100
exquisite artworks, Dublin in Sketches and
Stories is a joyous snapshot of the beating heart of the
Fair City.
